32 APPENDIX 6 SAS TRACKER COMPETITOR USUAL MANUAL G e n e r a l I n f o P a g e 3 Welcome For your and other competitor s safety it is important that you are familiar with the use of the WRC tracking unit, herein referred to as the unit or the WRC Tracking Device. The SAS System is designed to increase competition safety by providing safety notifications to inform event management, improve response times and provide accurate and reliable event times. The following document outlines the basic features and functions of the WRC Tracking unit. If you have any questions, please don t hesitate to contact the team at SAS or alternatively ask your fellow competitors. Powering The Unit On The unit is pre-loaded with all of the stage coordinates and is activated when powered on. Please power the unit on early before the event to give it time to run checks. When powered on the unit will display the transport screen (SCREEN 1) which displays the car number (top corner), transit time, distance and speed. The unit does not need to be powered off at any stage during the event as it will go to sleep within a few minutes of inactivity but can be re-woken by either moving the vehicle or pressing any of the four buttons. It is recommended that the unit is not powered off during the event, to ensure the internal battery stays fully charged for emergencies. WRC Tracker Competitor User Manual 32
